    Ripper Roo Them superpowers gettin' neutralized

    Gotta love when Marsh thinks he’s a prophet and uses his own gooner delusions to confirm to himself that his prophecy was fulfilled. Kaitlyn Dever hasn’t even been nominated yet, she is just campaigning for herself to get nominated. That is by no means “stealing the show” lmao she did not steal the show with 5 minutes of screen time sorry.

    Marsh is just being a blind hater of the rest of the show and thinks Kaitlyn stole the show because he finds her attractive lmao Kaitlyn’s parts were good but nothing incredible. I’d be surprised if she even wins. I don’t think anything from this season so far deserves awards if I’m being honest.

    I love how when people say Bella sucks, not just me, ya’ll be like she doesn’t, she’s just ugly cause she’s British. Nah, ese. Her acting sucks, Dina passed her in 5 seconds lol this would have been crazy with a better actress. Dona and her don’t even feel like a couple and she’s mad stupid lmao


    I’m a father a--- they/them :lmaooo:

    Back to the gooner delusions, automatically proving my point. I never said Bella is ugly cause she’s British. You just hate on Brits and Americans because you think Spain is superior even though their education system created a massive moron like you.
    Your metric for what good acting is clearly has nothing to do with the actual acting. You think Bella is a bad actor because you don’t find her attractive and you think Isabela and Kaitlyn are good actors because you find them attractive lmao.
    Not sure how you’d know what couples feel like considering you probably haven’t been in any real relationships.
    The only thing I can agree on you with, they are definitely dumbing Ellie down for comedic effect and to make Dina look smarter.
    You took that comment way too seriously. I can’t imagine living like you do, constantly getting enraged by any little thing you consider “woke”

    She can’t be a bad actress cause she’s ugly lol c’mon son. And I don’t hate British people, my brother Supsuck is from there and that’s my britta for life. Them being ugly doesn’t make them bad people :drake5:


    And when did I say I hate gringos? Never did

    I have more chemistry with my fleshlight than Bella has with Dina, and you can tell Isabella is trying, so she’s not the problem.

    Decent episode. The museum set was perfect. Looked exactly like the game. Porch scene was done really well also. The Eugene story was pretty weak. Thought since he was a former fire fly maybe he'd find out about Ellie and Joel had to k--- him but it was just standard he got bit and he put him down. Ellie's a god d--- snitch

    Great episode and performances. They cooked with the casting of Joel. Perfect actor and performance, that is levels above the game version for me. The patrol scene and all the extra lore and backstory is what when the series is at its best and they delivered here. Best episode so far.

    Wow, what an amazing episode episode 6 is. Early reviews saying episodes 2 and 6 would be the best episodes of season 2 were definitely right. Bella’s and Pedro’s acting is d--- near just like the game in a lot of parts. Bella is once again proving the naysayers wrong. I think Neil directed this episode so it makes sense. I have so many thoughts about this episode I’m not sure I’m even gonna be able to say them all in an organized way right now. But most of what I say is gonna be in spoilers so here goes.

    Flashing back to Joel’s childhood is one of the best decisions this show has ever made. It gives so much context to why Joel is the way he is and helps wrap this episode in a neat little bow by the end. I think some of the best art is art that hits home and this episode definitely hits home for me, especially the beginning. The cycle of abuse that fathers and grandfathers pass down to their sons but also hoping their sons do a little bit better than they did is important to highlight, and Joel is a prime example of what results from that which is why so many others and I identify with Joel.

    Having each flashback afterwards be another birthday of Ellie’s is a creative and dope way to structure the episode. All of these flashbacks add lore that wasn’t in the game, which justifies this show’s existence even more. Having Joel give Ellie the guitar on her birthday makes that moment from the game all the more special and helps mirror the scene where Ellie played a song for Dina. I’m glad they were able to use Future Days by the way, I think some people were worried they wouldn’t be able to use that song.

    As I suspected this episode features the museum flashback. They really did these scenes justice. Once again, Bella and Pedro do great. The way Bella says, “Joeeeeeeeel,” when she sees the big dinosaur sounds almost ripped from the game. My only criticism is they could’ve spent more time on these moments, it feels like we kinda rush through it. For instance, I wish they put in the moments where they play around with putting the hats on the dinosaur fossils. I mean for f---s sake they’re splitting this game into multiple seasons, I don’t know why they have to rush so much during these important moments.

    Again as I suspected, this episode includes the Eugene backstory previously alluded to earlier in the season. Using this backstory as the catalyst for Ellie finally confronting Joel about the hospital is pretty smart. Eventually we get to the porch scene. I don’t know how I feel about them showing this so early when it’s supposed to be at the end of the game, but oh well. Maybe they will use the flashback of Ellie saying, “I don’t know if I can forgive you, but I’d like to try” during the final fight with Abby.

    Anyway, the porch scene is amazing. I don’t know how I feel about them fusing together the Ellie confronting Joel about the hospital scene and the porch scene but oh well. It feels slightly rushed in that way, but that’s the only negative to me. Other than that this porch scene is just as good as the game if not better. “I love you in a way you don’t understand.” Man what a quote. This scene had me bawling my eyes out like a baby.

    I skipped over some stuff and left some details out and there’s probably more I wanna say that I just forgot, but this post is already long enough as it is lol. The point is that this episode is incredible and episodes like this alone justify the show’s existence and proves that in some ways the show can be better than the game.

    I can’t believe the next episode is already the season finale. Man this s--- went by quick. Hopefully the wait between season 2 and 3 isn’t as long as the wait between season 1 and 2.
